I will offer this confession: I did not watch the Tony Awards.

Worse yet: I have never watched the Tony Awards. Ever.

Still worse: I have never really cared about the Tony Awards. Ever.

To top it off: I watch the Oscars every year. I love the Oscars. I care about the Oscars.

I am sure this places me among the vile outcasts of the theatre community – that I should follow Hollywood and ignore Broadway – but it’s the truth, and, to quote a play, “To thine own self be true.”

(Of course, when someone says such-and-such was nominated for a Tony, then, of course, I pay attention. I’m shallow like that, yes.)

However, I do take it upon myself (as a matter of duty, I suppose) to read the list of winners after the ceremony is all done with. Apparently, God of Carnage won Best Play, which puts Yasmina Reza back on top of the world, and I really love Art, so good job, Reza! Keep it up.

Also, some of my favorite film actors won Tony Awards (Geoffrey Rush, Angela Lansbury, and Marcia Gay Harden), and oddly enough I sort-of-kind-of-barely know a cast member of Hair, which won Best Revival of a Musical.

So cool beans for the Tony Awards, and congrats to all nominees and winners. I probably won’t watch next year, either, but you know…can’t predict the future.
